Time for another review of what I think is a Manga that deserves some reviews.

Story 9/10. The story is that the MC is called into another world by two gods in order to serve as a hero, unfortunately the goddess of that world thinks him ugly and drops him at the edge of the world telling him to keep away from the humans. The other god grants him some power to survive and fight.

The story is told nicely, he gets dropped, wanders around and as you would expect, meets people. He learns magic from an orc settlement and decides to aid their problems ... by beating the cause.

In this story you will see the MC join both the Adventurers and Merchants guilds while helping people along the way with the aid of his two "servants."

Art 6/10. I do not really categorise art but immediately I realised I was unhappy with the style, still passable but not awe-inspiring, hence the six.

Characters 8/10. The three characters you will see in this Manga (so far) are the MC (Misumi Makoto). Tomoe (his first servant) and Mio (his second). Tomoe has the ability to read memories and so has fallen in love with the TV shows in his memory. Similarly, so has Mio.

Apart from their love for his memories the pair acknowledge his strength and because the MC allows non-human races to live in a "Mirage City" which only Tomoe can access they also respect his kindness.

The MC is proficient in handling archery and magic but as mentioned prior, he is also kind, kind enough to help save someones' older sister who was taken for failure to pay debts. The MC is also not arrogant over his strength, nor is he perverted.

Enjoyment 10/10. I read all chapters in one day, that speaks volume about how much it sucked me in.

Overall. 8/10. Overall its a very good Manga. Although it does appear to have lost sight of the original reason he was dropped into the world to begin with, there has yet to be any important character development moments which is unfortunate although it is early days yet.

I've read 15 chapters and so far this seems to be a middle of the road fantasy story. A solid, above average 6.

So far the story did some basic, but much welcome world building. I got a general sense where the story is going, but nothing concrete. However, it isn't really in a hurry to get anywhere interesting. Since it is just the beginning of the story I don't want to be too judgmental.

Something I wasn't satisfied with is the characters. The MC is generic but other than that I don't particularly have any problems with him. However, his "servants" Tomoe and Mio really need ... some fleshing out because so far, they seem to be more defined by the MC, than having their own personality. I mean... they even get their names from him. What is this if not the ultimate power fantasy?

Maybe it is early to make an overall judgment, but my first impressions are as follows: The manga is a simplistic but entertaining read, it really requires some polish in the story and character department, and a bigger story arc that kicks the plot into motion would be nice.

Really bad, the start creates some good potential but it greatly falls of.
The best part of the manga is definitely the beginning because you haven't seem how everything will simply turn bad.

The protagonist has a strong lack of personality or desires, there is barely anything he wants to do in the entire story, he must be one of the most ''blank characters to make it easier to self insert'' I've ever seen.
He is so blank he did not even want to say goodbye to his parents when hes never gonna see them again, his biggest desire was a bad joke which was ''eating manga ... meat'' which would be those big ass meats you always see luffy and cartoons eating, I remember that because that was the only time he tried to pursue anything on the entire story. It lasted for 3 pages.

Other thing that lasted 3 pages was his search for humanity, goes kinda hard in the beginning the idea of being isolated with only monsters in the middle of the monster continent, how he would interact and survive with monster and stuff seemed interesting. It turns out it takes him 3 pages of searching when he tries to find human cities completely destroying this plot. Any interesting interaction he could have with monsters because of culture, powers and stuff is also non existent

Overall, bad, might hook you up, if you do not pay attention you may end up reading the entire thing just because the beginning gave you hope of being good, then you're gonna notice you wasted your time with characters and scenarios you dont care.
